14 : SETUP MENUS
I/O: CONTROLLERS PAGE
(
“CTRL”
)
The CTRL page of the I/O menu allows you to map PEDALS or MIDI CC messages to various FX8 functions.
CC messages can be sent by a MIDI controller or computer connected to the FX8 MIDI In jack, or via the USB
connection of the FX8. Each of these settings is global.
In every case, the method for mapping a controller to one of these functions is the same:
1. Use the NAV knob to select the desired function.
2. Use the VALUE knob to assign a controller to the function: PEDAL1, PEDAL 2, MIDI CC (1-127), or NONE.

Reminder: You do not need to STORE settings in the SETUP menu. EXIT returns to Stompbox Mode.
PARAMETER
Description
IN 1 PRE VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Controls the volume at the IN PRE jack. Map a PEDAL here, for instance, if
you want a global volume between the guitar and the rst PRE eect.
OUT 1 PRE VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Controls the volume at the OUT PRE jack. Map a PEDAL here, for instance,
if you want a global volume between your PRE fx and input of your amp.
IN 2 POST VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Controls the volume at the IN POST jack. This is perhaps the best and most
common placement of a global volume pedal in a PRE/POST rig. Volume
changes will not aect the amount of preamp gain/distortion, and when
you pull the pedal back, the tails of any post eects will ring out.
OUT 2 POST VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Controls the volume at the OUT POST jack. Map a PEDAL here if you want
a global MASTER volume which controls the nal level of everything you
hear.
TRUE BYPASS
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Operates the True Bypass function remotely.
TEMPO TAP
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Provides the ability to set tap the Tempo with an external controller.
IMPORTANT: ANY value for the designated controller counts as a tap, so do
not use a momentary switch or you will end up with double-time!
TUNER
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
Provides a way to enter or exit the TUNER function remotely.
EXT CTRL 112
NONE/PEDAL…/0-127
This is where you specify which incoming MIDI CC# should be assigned to
each of the 12 External Controllers available as Modier sources.
LOOPER REC, PLAY, ONCE,
DUB, REV, BYPASS, HALF,
UNDO
Most of the functions of the Looper block can also be remote controlled.
